I'd love to see the Frightful Four, obviously Doom, but even newer bad guys like The Maker. A costumed, non-translucent Human Torch would be cool, too, if he came with alt hands and heads. I really like his solo uniform. Seems like a Watcher BAF would almost be mandatory - I'd love to see how they tackle that giant noggin.

I really think an FF wave(s) is in the works. I think the creative team took the FF outta the exclusive zone in order to fold it into the main line and get some long awaited characters out before the FF gets blended into the MCU, after which there will be less room for comic figs as there will need to be movie figs in those lines.

2. Johnny (Future Foundation) - attachable flames cuz he was often not fully consumed by flames in this uniform.

3. Sue (Future Foundation) - simple repaint.

4. Doctor Doom - no more said. Needs to be done. First new sculpt of the wave.

5. Karnak - preferably his hermit look. It would take some slight retooling of an existing buck, but I can be used for The Hood in the future.

6. Frankie Ray Nova - love this character, love her story. And if Hasbro's really intent on ever using the uhh.....ehem....Moonstone buck ever again, this is the perfect time to knock the dust off it.

7. Trapster - we can't forget about the Frightful Four, my friends. Nothing but an existing mold with some auxiliary parts.

BAF - Awesome Android: he's usually portrayed much bigger than the standard BAF limitations, but his size is variable. And since when is Hasbro concerned about scale accuracy anyway? Go crazy guys, it's really not that complicated in design. Big body, square head. Take a break.

Guys like Annihilus, Molecule Man and Mole Man can be switched out with any of the villain types but some of them have been done before and as I recall, they still hold up well. Actually, Annihilus is in better scale with the ML Infinite line now. Also, like many others, I do believe Future Foundation Spidey does have a place but tend to think that can be done in his own line.

This is the only Torch look I'll ever want. Throw in faceless (Jim Hammond) head & we'd be golden!

I'm all for that. One fully flamed Human Torch with no distinct markings on him. He could serve as the default Johnny no matter what uniforms the rest of the team wears and with a faceless sculpt he could represent the various androids.

I really just want a Bag-Man Spider-Man, like most everyone else. I think the Future Foundation variants would be great and I would eat them up. I'll even just go for repaints and maybe an additional head or effect piece. Nothing fancy but I'd love those costumes. I did just recently sell my FF Spider-Man so I would need one with the butterfly joints.

I'm not expecting an FF wave anytime soon, at least not until the inevitable movie reboot in a few years. At comic-con (or was it Toy Fair?) a year or so back, Dwight and Ryan had been interviewed about why the FF characters were being staggered out over a series of Walgreens releases instead of a dedicated wave. Dwight said the economic reality of the situation was that there wasn't any real interest from retailers in a dedicated FF Legends wave because the last movie had tanked and there was nothing else keeping the characters in mainstream pop culture the way the evergreen Legends sub-lines like Spider-Man, the Avengers and the X-Men are.

So unless these exclusives sold like insanely well and now people like Target and Walmart are begging to get in on the action (which I unfortunately doubt), I think we're out of luck for the foreseeable future. Which is fine with me. We finally got a perfect Ben Grimm.

I don't know how to post a picture, but they wore it here, so this is what I was thinking about. Maybe years down the road they could do these. Eventually they'll get to this Wolverine and Spider-Man at least.
